One of the most famous events in history is the tragic sinking of the ship
Titanic. It sank just four days after it started its first journey killing over two-
thirds of the passengers.
The building of the Titanic began in March 1909 in Belfast, Ireland. The ship
was famous because of its huge size and luxurious rooms. When it finally set
off from Southampton to New York on 10th April 1912, it had 2,228 passengers
and crew members on board. However, there were only 16 lifeboats on the ship
and these could only hold 1,178 people.
On 14th April, at 11.40 at night, while it was sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, the
Titanic hit an iceberg and water started filling the ship. The sailors took about
45 minutes to get the first lifeboat ready to use. When the last lifeboat left the
Titanic, there were still about 1,500 passengers on it!
At 2.10 am, the ship broke into two and sank. There weren’t enough life jackets
for all the passengers. That night, more than 1,500 people drowned in the icy
water.

Fourteen-year-old Lucille Carter and her family were travelling on the Titanic.
At about 11.30 at night, some people were sitting in the dining room and some
people were dancing. Lucille was sleeping in her room and her parents were
outside.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise and Lucille woke up. She opened the door and
saw water everywhere. A man was shouting: “To the lifeboats! The ship is
sinking!”
Someone carried Lucille into a lifeboat. Then she saw her parents. They
climbed in, too. Many people weren’t so lucky. Only 710 passengers on the
Titanic survived.
